Way Elementary School

If your child will be 5-years-old by September 1, 2019, it is time to start the enrollment process.

Bloomfield Hills Schools has Summer Camp opportunities for all ages, all abilities, and all interests!  New this year, several camps will offer limited transportation services.  We have also expanded our before and aftercare options. Call 248.433.0885 to book your adventure today!  Spaces are limited for many of our camps.

Way and Eastover Elementary students are discovering the endless possibilities of creating their own playground with Imagination Playground!  Student Francis Baker shares, "It is giant, blue, soft blocks that we can build as tall and wide as we want.  Plus, there are balls that we can build ramps and make different shapes.  My friends and I work hard together to create cool forts."

Registration is open for all 3rd graders to 8th graders interested in boys lacrosse. Come join the fastest sport on two feet! Please visit https://www.13milelax.com/spring-lax.html for more information. 

Dear Way Families,                                 

I want to let you know that we recently were awarded a Bloomfield Hills Foundation Grant for the Way Art Studio! This grant will be used to help your child continue to create and help guide you when assisting your child's creative process. I have created several art take-home studios for your child to check just like they would a library book. If interested, please sign the permission slip that can be found in your child's backpack, or click the link below.

Thank you!

Dear Way Families,

As we begin the new school year, Way Elementary will be implementing a new policy regarding provision of food at school celebrations.  Currently, the majority of our classrooms report some form of food allergy restriction. This represents a tipping point for us. Policing food at parties and other celebrations is not only time consuming, but places staff and at-risk students in a potentially dangerous position. With this in mind, the only food brought into the building for celebrations and other day-time events will be orchestrated between the classroom teacher and head-room parent.  For the last several years, Way has adhered to a healthy foods policy and those foods will be stressed for these special occasions.

As has always been the case, you will still be able to make personal food choices for your child's lunch or snack, providing the food doesn't contain the allergen at play in the classroom. All families should have previously been notified about allergy conditions of the classroom.  

Attention to these minor shifts in thinking and behavior should lead to a safer and healthier environment for all.

Sincerely,

Adam Scher
